Update – Glen Oaks millage study

Members of the Glen Oaks Community College Board of Trustees recently received an update on results of a recent millage study.

Paul Hanley, of George K. Baum & Company, discussed conclusions of a mail survey, while Jim Hobart, of Public Opinion Strategies, provided results of a telephone survey.

Hanley said nearly 21,000 registered-voter households within the college district received a public opinion mail survey. The survey included 14 questions and background information about the school’s bond proposal.

A total of 774 surveys were submitted and processed for responses, representing a reply rate of approximately 3.7 percent.

Survey results found a slight majority of voters are in favor of the millage proposal and that the key swing groups are seniors, Republicans and Independents.
